R\/V Maggi Sue<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

The Maggi Sue will be the nation\u2019s most technologically advanced freshwater research vessel, and the crown jewel of Great Lakes scientific exploration and advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new research vessel will assist the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences and its partners in collecting vital data. This data will help us understand how society affects the Great Lakes. This will lead to healthier and safer waters for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maggi Sue\u2019s advanced features will enable scientists, students, and partners to conduct research. This research will deepen our knowledge of North America\u2019s unique inland seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\/V Maggi Sue will serve as a floating laboratory. It will have the same tools and technologies used in top oceanic research. The science done on board will boost our ability to explore, understand, and manage our vital freshwater resource.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
